Hi Jeff,
OK, so we have to ask the package maintainers why they are forcing the
Qt fusion style, we have never recommend it unless there is a specific
problem with the native styling. Perhaps it was done to work around a
problem where the distro folks has messed around so much with Qt that it
no longer worked correctly for vanilla Qt GUI applications. If so then
they should be reassessing that and removing the forced styling if it is
no longer necessary.

The problem is you have Red Hat Enterprise, Oracle Enterprise, Fedora,

modified. So... for example: When a user has 2.2.2 installed from
the repository, then builds the 2.3.0 RCx version from scratch. They
end up with two different looking windows, with objects doing
"strange" looking things. No doubt, here comes yet another "bug"
report. Not really a bug, but it looks like one. That is the basis of
my suggestion for continuity.
I have not noticed any performance implications, but then, my box is
built for the Enterprise.

It took me a while to figure out why my local builds looked
different from those I found in the pre-built repositories. I was
waiting to mention this at the next RC cycle to make it easy to
correct. Changing this line will bring continuity across all Linux
platforms for look and feel.
Hi Jeff,
users are welcome to use the lowest common denominator Qt fusion
style for Qt applications, but doing so bypasses the use of many
built in graphics card drawn widgets. You should use the default
style unless there is a good reason not to. The fusion style is meant
to provide as similar look and feel across all platforms but using it
has performance implications.
